* Allantus melanarius (KLUG, 1818)

Berlin: 1 ♀, Berlin, „28/4”, leg. Schirmer (in coll. Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm). Brandenburg: 1 ♀, Landkreis Märkisch-Oderland, Buckow, 52.56°N 14.08°E, „[?] 25/5“, leg. Schirmer (in coll. Swedish Museum of Natural History, Stockholm). 1 ♀, Landkreis Märkisch-Oderland, Müncheberg, ZALF Gelände, 52.51499°N 14.11548°E, Malaise trap, 25.07.– 01.08.2011. Only Cornus sanguinea is so far recorded as a larval host, but because A. melanarius is found not just in semi-natural habitats in which this shrub occurs, but also in parks and gardens where several other Cornus spp. are planted, it would be interesting to know whether some of these are used as hosts.
